[support] Links Available "Conditionally" Within the Same Block

If these links went to actual pages (that contained more information, 
integrated web forms, additional links), then you can set access 
controls to those pages, such as through Content Access/ACL.   I am not 
sure but I think the Drupal menu system will take the page permissions 
into account before displaying the menu links.  I could be wrong though.
